Shalom Israel: A place like no other by Melissa Lavi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a cute little book. I enjoyed finding out more about the country of Israel. I did not know a lot about Israel but after reading this book I feel like I know a little bit more and it seems really interesting. I recommend this book to parents with kids that like to read and find out about new places.

While this book is technically a children’s picture book, it could also be called a travel book about Israel. I loved how informative it was. It touched on important places such as the wailing wall and the Dead Sea. There’s even a safari area that I had no idea was there. It also teaches about common food available in Israel. It was a fun little read that I enjoyed. As they say in Israel, Shalom!
The book Shalom Israel takes the reader on an adventure to Israel, get ready to say Shalom, “hello!” To a new country! I love how the illustrations in this book are both real photographs and illustrations. It is wonderful to see a book that is easy to understand that takes children around the world to see what it is like there. From what I saw online, many of the things that are in this book are prominent to Israel. The words used help children and adults alike understand words used within the story. I really like that the book also has a glossary that includes interesting facts. This is such a wonderful book!

This is the second book we’ve read by this author, and my kiddos and I loved it so much! They are both bookworms at the ages of 7 and 11, and they loved the illustrations and really enjoyed learning about a culture that differed from their own. I can say that I also learned some things I didn’t know which is always lovely! Both of my kids love to dig deeper into anything they hear about, so this book started a nice conversation that engaged us all. We will definitely be looking for more books by Melissa Lavi!

Shalom Israel by Melissa Lavi. I bought this book for my nephews who are 5 and 10 and they both really enjoyed it. Its a very educational family book that I learned from as well as my nephews. Its basically an adventure of pictures and writing that takes you thru all the diverse locations of Israel. It teaches you about all the diverse culture that is in Israel along with what its like to be Jewish. The story is told in a rhyme so its easy for kids to understand and the pictures are beautiful. It also has a glossary at the end that really helped me understand what some words meant. This would make a great addition to your families library.

Shalom Israel was a great learning kids book. It was great to feel like you were traveling to this country and learning about all the aspects in the culture. The book talked about the language, the people, the landscapes, art, shopping food, etc. Kids will learn a lot about this country and culture through the easy-to-read story. I also like that they included animation in with real pictures from Israel.

Every teacher has a heart and they are always big, they come in all shapes and sizes, they are all different and they are all around.
In this book, the story and illustrations tell you all about teachers and their hearts, while showing that on the outside, even though they are all different, inside they are all the same.

The book is about teachers showing how most of them have a big heart. There’s always those few that don’t though. It’s a quick, easy read. Very well put together.

This is such a sweet and beautiful book! I love the natural pictures that have the main characters of the story throughout! I feel like we get to see more of Israel than the brief images we may run across on the news or in passing from the media. This short picture book contains a rhyming explanation that’s sure to hold a child’s attention – as well as a small glossary/fun facts page to help caregivers explain terms used. By the end of the story, I feel like I’ve gained a little more curiosity about the country and really appreciate the differences between Israel and the place I come from.

This unique picture book takes us through Israel with engaging rhymes and colourful pictures. I would highly recommend this book for all ages to experience the streets of Israel in a distinctive way.
This book is such a refreshing way to celebrate teachers, especially when the world is making their jobs more difficult. I can say from personal experience that teachers have full plates, and that we are humans. All teachers are different and act differently. I love how the story includes various ways that teachers look, act, and care about students. This book would be a great back to school gift for any teacher. I could also see this being a wonderful gift for elementary education graduates.

A very sweet dedication to teachers everywhere! This book shows that teachers have their students in their hearts all the time. I know many teachers and this book describes them all perfectly. This book should be given to all children as they enter primary school. A kids should reference it often!

My kiddos and I absolutely loved this story! The illustrations are beautiful and my youngest wanted me to linger on each page a little longer just to take them in. Every teacher is different with their styles and the way they relate to their students, but they ALL care so much about their kids year after year. Teachers love to watch their students finally grasp a concept or share knowledge they have with others in the class. I highly recommend reading this with the kids (and teachers) in your life!

Adorable! I’ve always had a soft spot for teachers. It’s something everybody in the world has experienced. We can all tell when a teacher really cares about their students and wants them to succeed. This book is great, it supports teachers, and helps show kids that teachers are people who care about them.

Shalom Israel is a wonderfully written children’s book that children of any age will enjoy. It takes on an tour of Israel through the streets from north to south and east to west. We learn the cultures and diversity . The pictures are very bright and vibrant and definitely brings the story to life. I love how its educational and teaches us how different countries different cultures and ways of doing things but we’re all the same. My five year old loved it. I highly recommend reading this book to children of any age I look forward to reading more from this Author.

This was a cute picture book about all the different kinds of teachers. From the way they teach to the way they look with the reminder that they all have a teacher’s heart. This would be a good story for a child going into kindergarten or a child who is changing schools in elementary school.

This was a really sweet read and a great story to read to read to young children who are about to start school and may be feeling a little apprehensive about their teacher. The story has a lovely flow to it and is accompanied by some really nice and bright illustrations. The story is also a great introduction about diversity and how we are all different – it is simply done so young children would understand.
A Teacher’s Heart is definitely a wonderful read and would be a great addition to any young child’s library!

This book is so delightful and heart-warming! As a former teacher, I can confirm that it takes a big heart to teach kids and help them grow. The illustrations are colorful and interesting and definitely attention-grabbing. It is fun to read aloud and obviously fun to hear read aloud because my little asked for it several times again. I would recommend this book to any little, big, or current or former teacher, especially with school starting again soon (and even afterwards). I think anyone who reads this will be able to identify the teachers that they remember within these pages. 5 stars!

A Teacher’s Heart by Melissa Lavi. I loved this sweet book and so did my 5 year old nephew who is going into kindergarten. Its basically telling kids that all teachers are good no matter that they may look different, wear different clothes, have different colored hair and even teach different but hey all have a very big heart. Teachers go into teaching because they love kids no other reason. This would make a great gift especially for kids about to enter kindergarten or even preschool. Such pretty pictures as well. Great story and pictures, awesome for a gift.
